It will require a long time for nn to gather up the fragments. Prin cipals of taxation which were eonaid ered well nettled aro torn up by thin ibs-ision. "How will the iientioii come np in the aeuate?" "In connection with tlio ipientiou of refunding thu I'S.OOO already will-U;d and the refunding of thu cotton, whis ky, lss-r and tobacco taxes.

"Of course," replied Senator Mor gan, "congress will havu to accept tho decision, but an amendment to tho con stitution is always rastsible." Senator Faulkner, of West Virginia, said ho thought there wart no danger of an extra w-ssion, and no earthly chance for one. Ho added: "Kvou with thin loss of income there la a comfortable condition of tho treas ury. It has May 1K),000,000 surplus in addition to tho gold reserve, and I am asure that will be sufficient to last until the meeting of congress. The country will not suffer so much from a lack of legislation an it would from a 'session of congress. " w Members of thu administration, who aro undoubtedly fully acquainted with thu president's views and purposes, state unhesitatingly that an extra sen nion of congress in out of the question.

An Ottawa dispatch says: It may Is- taken as a settled fact that the Pacific cable will bo, like its promoters, essentially Brit ish. Under its treaty with the United States, the Hawaiian government is precluded from allowing any foreign power to acquire any portion of Hawai ian territory, the United States having given an adverse answer to Oreat Brit ain's proposition to wvuro Neckar or Bird island as a cable station. Fan ning island is S00 miles further than I Neckar island, but this, it appears, will not mitigate against the effective ness of the cable. All tenders for the construction of the cable have la-en giveu assurances to this effect. Fan ning; island is a British possesion, so that all lauding places of the cable will ls within the empire. Tlio SlHiifi.nl Kalnlp, San Fraucisco, May 23. Two big claims against the Stanford estate have boon withdrawn in court by the au thority and direction of all the inter ested parties. One claim was for 50, 000, held against the estate by Marie Hall Williamson; the other was for 100,000, held by Horace Carpenter, the capitalist of Oakland. Both claims were withdrawn after tho completion of other arrangements and making of new notes. Carpenter's claim represent ed a joint liability, in which not only tho Stanford, but the Crocker estate was interested. All of the arrange ments were completed by attorneys in New York. After the settlement had boon made there the announcement to withdraw the claims was telegraphed hero. This important transfer relieves tho Stanford estate of an incumbrance which has caused a groat deal of trouble. Manitoba S. hunt iinrailoii Ni-ttlril. Montreal, May 23.
